I gained useful knowledge from your presentation.

Since the knowledge of blockchain technology is new to me, I haven’t heard of any use of it in my country’s healthcare system. I think budget availability would be a challenge.

For its use in health, maybe it could also be integrated in public health fields like epidemiological surveillance.

It was an interesting presentation.

The nature of EWARS itself is easy to be implemented and used, as it comes readily in a box, and so the installation process is very quick which is advantageous especially in such emergency conditions.

A concern that occurred to me concerning EWARS evaluation is that there was no comparison of effectiveness…[Read more]

It is a very well done CRF with neat design. I like how month is recorded so that it cannot be misread as day. Having investigator’s signature space, instruction for filling out physical examination, degree of severity of solicited reactions included and being able to choose which visit in solicited reactions page are what I find significantly…[Read more]

Dear Sara, thank you for your feedback on both good and weak points of my CRF design. It is very informative, and I would be able to avoid similar mistakes in the future.

No. of boxes for “pulse rate” should be 3 instead of 2, since it can be more than 99. And for other findings, I agree with all the classmates above.

I agree that organizations should communicate with each other regarding international data standards.

Benefits of having data standards are enormous, and to state one, I would say ease of data sharing. Data sharing, consequently can lead to better healthcare through evidence based medicine. It is obvious that clinical research results are more reliable when there are more data collected across different studies.

It’s a precious experience you just shared to us, and thank you for that. For edit checks and logical checks, they are crucial especially for large data sets in my opinion, because it’s near impossible for us to do manual queries to a large number of records.

I haven’t experienced study projects, however, recording TB cases for treatment monitoring and reporting is my daily practice. In this practice, case recording is done in web application developed by our team. It has been integrated with:
– User authentication and access control: each user has his/her own username and password. Features accessible…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I too sometimes forget to backup the data regularly. Properly documenting when and how to backup the data in DMP, and strictly following it will save us from this kind of trouble in the future.

I have only experienced some of the steps in the data management process missing most of the important ones such as protocol discussion, data quality assurance, data coding and data sharing.
If I were to be able to go back and make improvements, I would choose web-based electronic data capture from the beginning to reduce workload. Data management…[Read more]

Thank you for your interest and question. Yes, there were difficulties since it was field-based. One of them was that we had criteria on which person to include in the group discussion, and we already informed to local authorities in the villages about the criteria. However, the authorities had minor misunderstandings in it, and when we arrived,…[Read more]

Thanks for your interest, and I’m sorry to reply that I was only involved in the data collection and transcribing. Other stages of data management were done by others, and I didn’t get to experience it. I also wish to learn how to maintain integrity of qualitative data.

Thanks for sharing. I can’t agree more on how inconsistencies across datasets can be tiring to manage, since there are several sources of secondary data.

1. I once assisted my senior in her PhD research project in the data collection process. The project is about child nutrition, and it was field-based study.

2. There were 3 phases of data collection in the project: 1st is qualitative study to validate survey questions to be used in the last phase, followed by anthropometric measurements of…[Read more]
